A coach accused of sending young players at a Scottish football club sexual Snapchat messages walked free from court yesterday.

Alexander Robertson had allegedly sex-messaged four boys at a Scottish League Two club, one of them now a Scottish Premiership footballer, asking the under-age teens about their love lives, and joking about penis size.

Some of the boys, who were 14 or 15 at the time, claimed he had asked them send him pictures of their “tensed” legs and other body parts, but Robertson, 22, said he had only once made a request for a picture of any “body part” – a boy’s injured knee.

After a five-day trial, jurors at Falkirk Sheriff Court took less than an hour and a half to find Robertson not guilty of all four charges.
